Last Friday, we kicked off the first MGA Medical Strategic Committee meeting in our Berlin office. With a great mix of backgrounds and perspectives, we had insightful discussions on shaping the future of our Medical Division. What exactly did we talk about? Well… that stays under wraps for now. But don’t worry - we’ll share the results at our MGA Annual Meeting on September 23-24, 2025. Save the date! If you’re part of our medical network and couldn’t make it, you’ll still have the chance to review and comment on the draft in the coming months - expect an invite soon! 😉 A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed, from our chair Urvashi Gunputh to all the other members Gregor Reischle, Dominic Duda, Sascha Petereit, Alexander B. Xepapadeas and Mark B Tan. Your input is invaluable! #WeBoostAM #Strategy #MedicalAM #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting

3D-Printed Medical Materials and AM in Automotive – What’s the Connection? 🤔 At our Medical Material Working Group meeting at MANN+HUMMEL, we brought together two industries that, on the surface, might seem like an odd couple. But when we started discussing material databases, sustainability, and recycling, we quickly saw the common ground - and that both face similar challenges and opportunities. The big takeaway? Healthcare can tap into the automotive industry’s 25+ years of experience in AM, particularly when it comes to material standards and advanced processes. One of the highlights of the day was definitely the tour of Mann + Hummel’s 3D printing center! A huge thank you to Jürgen Jenner, Özlem Weiss, Dr. Jan Wegner, Dr. Andreas Wintzer and all participants for making the day such a success. 🙏 Moral of the story? When industries come together, fresh ideas emerge, and possibilities grow. So let's collaborate and explore other exciting intersections!
